All children love secluded nooks. Only in solitude you can give vent to your imagination and go on an exciting journey through imaginary worlds. That is why children often build self-made houses of pillows, blankets and other improvised means. But if you want your child to feel like a brave traveler or hero of his favorite fairy tale, give him a hut. Moreover, it is quite easy to make a hut for children with their own hands, but the child will be able to fill his leisure with fascinating games. Today, "House of Dreams" will share with its readers the ideas of building children's huts, which can be installed both in the children's room and on the street.
Making a hut for children on their own - several interesting ideas
1. A sheet and a rope
To make a hut, it is enough to stretch the rope between the trees, to pass sheets through it and fix its edges with wooden pegs or other suitablemeans. To the child was comfortable, lay on the ground soft blankets, blankets or pillows. And let in such "construction" there is nothing supernatural, but children's imagination can fill it with a fascinating history. A homemade hut for children on the street will present a lot of interesting games and, besides, save kids from solar overheating.
When choosing a place for a hut, give preference to the darkened and flat areas.
2. A hut made of a gymnastic wrap and fabric
A regular gymnastic hoop can be an excellent base for a children's hut. It is enough to sew a long fabric to the hoop and hang it in a horizontal position, for example, to a tree branch at such a height that the edges of the fabric reach the ground. Alternatively, you can just throw a large cut of dense fabric on the hoop, build a cone-shaped roof and fasten the frame to a comfortable level. Then to suspend the hut requires only a reliable strap or tape.
3. Hatch for branches
Perhaps every child dreams of a world trip, dangerous adventures andfascinating wanderings. To help a child realize his cherished dream is possible, without leaving behind the side-streets of his own summer residence. As the brave travelers prefer not to sleep in a warm bed, but in a hut made of wood branches made with their own hands, the kid is sure to be delighted with such a gift.
But how to make a children's hut out of branches? There are several interesting options:
- First, you can build a hut of flexible and long branches, left after pruning trees and shrubs. First, collect as many branches as possible and select the largest specimens. On the site of the future hut, draw a circle and dig along its circumference branches, tilting them so that they create a conical frame. Install only two branches at a fairly wide distance from each other, becausethey will serve as an entrance to the future hut. Make sure that the branches are firmly installed, and add them with the remaining material. It's okay if the walls of the hut are "transparent" - being in such a house, the kid will still feel, at least, Robinson Crusoe.
- Secondly, you can make a "live" hut, decorated with foliage and plants. If you are not in a hurry with building a miracle house, plant climbing plants around the perimeter of the frame, for example, grapes, bindweed, etc., which, as they grow, will beautifully cover the walls of the hut. If you want to give a child a holiday "here and now", just cover the frame of the hut with branches with greens.
4. A hut for wigwam in the nursery and on the street
The hut of the wigwam is a traditional Indian house. This structure has a conical shape and a strong structure. Earlier, the Indians built their homes, using thick branches, which were then covered with a dense canvas cloth. We can also make a children's hut by the principle of the wigwam. To do this, you need to pick up 5-7 flexible but sturdy twigs, and then install them in the form of a polyhedron or semicircle. The tops of twigs should be joined in such a way that they are combined like a flower in a bouquet, overlapping each other. At the junction of twigs you need to fasten with a strong rope or cut fabric.
If you are installing wigwams on the street, dig a little the bottom of the twigs in the ground. If the wigwam is in the room, tie down at the bottom of the structure cross bars that will anchor the structure.
After this, decorate the wigwam with a cloth. Most often between the adjacent twig rods triangles are formed, so it's enough just to cut out pieces of cloth in this form and sew them around the frame. However, it is much more beautiful if the wigwam hut will be decorated with a specially sewn cover, for the creation of which it will be necessary to carefully measure the height of the frame and the width of each part.

double-deck hut Having made a simple structure made of several wooden slats, it is possible to create a beautiful two-level hut or a hut-tent. The most important thing in this structure is to choose the right fabric. If you are installing a hut in the courtyard, it is best to use a tent that does not burn out of the sun and does not deform due to high humidity. If the structure is located in the child's room, cotton or any other natural material is suitable.
Indoor huts
If you are not confident in your abilities or just do not want to waste time on making a homemade hut, you can purchase a ready-made structure. For example, a beautiful and easy-to-play shelter is produced by the Swedish brand IKEA.Such facilities are suitable not only for games, but also for storing toys. In addition, the corporate hut will certainly become the main decoration of the children's room.
As a hut, you can also use a stylized tent or a roof on the bed. This accessory will not only give the kid a world of fascinating games, but also provide him with a strong and calm sleep.
A hut for children is not just another toy that quickly bothers. To kids, he will help develop his own imagination and open the door to the world of a fairy tale. And for older children, the hut will become a cozy place of solitude, in which one can calmly think about the world around, read an interesting book or dream about a wonderful future.
